Looking into the geocoder gem for Rails, I'm trying to find an API where I can pass an address, get results back that include latitude and longitude, and be able to store only the latitude and longitude in my app's database.

Has anyone found a service that allows this? I know Google has it in their TOS that the data cannot be persisted and must be used with a map. Bing's TOS almost makes it sound like this is allowed, but it's very grey - and I'm obviously not a lawyer.

Anyone else looked at this and maybe found a solution that would save me some time?

The Geocoder docs list all of the providers that the gem supports and lists the services that each provider supports as well as limitations of each.

  • Right, but these all either a) don't allow storage or b) have question marks next to them. – CDub Oct 10 '13 at 14:00
